Russian tech firm developing 100%-accuracy weapons based on combat experience
Rostec is also developing technology to convert any military hardware into a robotic vehicle
ABU DHABI, February 21. /TASS/. Russia’s state tech corporation Rostec is developing weapon systems with 100% accuracy of striking targets based on present-day combat experience, the Rostec press office told TASS at the IDEX 2023 international arms show in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday.
"The range and accuracy of weapons are a top priority in modern warfare. We are moving along the path of creating systems with the target engagement accuracy close to 100%, i.e. weapons that ensure guaranteed target destruction," Rostec said.
Rostec is focused on providing the Army with advanced armaments, military and special hardware. In this effort, it attaches a top priority to electronic warfare systems, unmanned aerial platforms and other robotic vehicles, armor, next-generation aircraft, communications, reconnaissance, command and control systems, precision-strike weapons and capabilities against them, it explained.
Rostec is also developing technology to convert any military hardware into a robotic vehicle, it said.
"In particular, we are fine-tuning the technology of converting any seaborne, land or airborne hardware - a fighter jet, a helicopter, a tank, an IFV [infantry fighting vehicle], an MLRS [multiple launch rocket system] and so on - into a robotic vehicle," Rostec said.
Work in several shifts
Rostec enterprises are rolling out all the weaponry massively involved in the zone of the special military operation in Ukraine at an accelerated rate: tube and rocket artillery systems, armor of different classes, attack and transport helicopters, assault aircraft, fighter jets, heavy flamethrower systems, small arms and ammunition and many other items. The work at its enterprises proceeds in several shifts, it said.
"The first shift begins the assembly of tanks at 8 o’clock in the morning and finishes it at 8 o’clock in the evening, following which the second shift lasts from 8 o’clock in the evening till 8 o’clock in the morning of the following day. This goes on every day, i.e. the tank assembly line does not stop for a minute. High Precision Systems operates in the same mode, supplying infantry fighting vehicles and other military hardware," Rostec said.
The IDEX 2023 international arms show is running in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates on February 20-24. Russia’s integrated display stand is accommodated in a separate pavilion where leading Russian defense manufacturers feature over 200 full-scale types of weaponry, military hardware, munitions and combat gear.
